WEBVTT F THE TOP TEN DAYS OF THE YEAR. JULIE, ROB? >> THANK YOU, BILL. >>> DID WITNESSES SEE ANTHONY GARCIA DRIVING THROUGH A DUNDEE NEIGHBORHOOD THE DAY BEFORE TWO PEOPLE WERE KILLED? >> THE PROSECUTION CALLED SEVERA RESIDENTS WHO ALL TESTIFIED TO SEEING THE SAME THING. AN OLIVE-SKINNED MAN WITH DARK HAIR. >> BUT THE DEFENSE IS TRYING TO CAST DOUBT, CHALLENGING I WITNESSES REALLY REMEMBER WHAT THEY SAW THAT DAY EIGHT YEARS AGO. KETV NEWSWATCH 7'S CHRISTINA ENGEL IS LIVE. >> Reporter: FIRST WITNESSES DESCRIBE THIS SAME VEHICLE, A HONDA CR-V, SLOWLY DRIVING NORTH 54th STREET, THE HUNTER STREET. THEN IN INTERVIEWS OVER A YEAR LATER, IT GOT A LITTLE FUZZY. MAYBE IT WAS A DIFFERENT CAR. BUT BEFORE ALL THAT, DETECTIVE DEREK MOYES SHARED HIS THEORY ABOUT WHO WAS KILLED FIRST. THOMAS HUNTER, 11 YEARS OLD, THE DETECTIVE SAYS WAS THE FIRST TO DIE, STABBED THROUGH THE NECK HE SAYS WITH A KNIFE FROM THE FAMILY'S KNIFE BLOCK. DETECTIVE MOYES SPEAKS TO A DIAGRAM OF THE HUNTER HOME. HE SAYS SHIRLEY SHERMAN'S BODY WAS NEAR THE BACK DOOR. SHE TRIED TO RUN. JEREM JEREMY JORGENSO CHALLENGED. THE DEFENSE ALSO QUESTIONED THE INTEGRITY OF THE SCENE. COULD THE PRESENCE OF A FAMILY CAT CREATE CONTAMINATION? THIS CRIMINOLOGIST SAYS HE DIDN'T SEE A CAT BUT DID USE STERILE Q-TIPS TO SWAB THE HOME. >> THEY'RE LOOKING FOR OTHER NON-VISIBLE TYPES OF EVIDENCE WHERE THEY WERE SWABBING VARIOUS LOCATIONS FOR BODY FLUIDS. >> Reporter: TONY INFANTINO IS A RETIRED DETECTIVE, CURRENT PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR. WE SAT WITH HIM THROUGH TESTIMONY. HE SAYS THE CHALLENGE IS MAKING UNSEEN EVIDENCE VISIBLE, WHERE INVESTIGATORS MARKED FOOTPRINTS AND CREATED CASTS. >> IT WILL TAKE THEM HOURS, SOMETIMES DAYS TO PROCESS IT, DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH PHYSICAL EVIDENCE IS PRESENT. >> Reporter: POLICE ALSO SPENT HOURS, MONTHS TALKING TO WITNESSES IN THE DUNDEE NEIGHBORHOOD, LIKE JACQUELINE FOSTER AND HER SON AARON. BOTH SAW A SILVER HONDA CRV PARKED ON THEIR STREET JUST AFTER 4:00 P.M. AARON USED TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES WITH THOMAS HUNTER. ANOTHER WITNESS SAW A MAN IN THAT VEHICLE. "I WATCHED HIM, HE SAT IN HIS CAR FOR ABOUT A MINUTE, I GOT SUSPICIOUS." DANA BOYLE SAW HUNTER GET OFF THE BUS THAT DAY, THEN SAW A HONDA CR-V. THE DRIVER SAW HER AND SPED OFF. THE DEFENSE ASKING BOYLE THEORYS SHE SHARED WITH DETECTIVES ABOUT HUNTER'S ONLINE ACTIVITY, OR IF THE CRIME COULD HAVE BEEN DOMESTIC, BUT BOYLE CALLED THOSE RUMORS. "WE WERE ALL DISTRAUGHT, THIS WAS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND A CHILD WE ALL LOVED." THE DEFENSE ASKED ALL WITNESSES TODAY IF THEY EVER SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED GARCIA AS THE MAN THEY SAW ON MARCH 13th, 2008, IN VARYING LEVELS. THEY ALL SAY NO. TOMORROW, THE FOCUS WILL SWITCH TO AUPT
